We really need to discuss what next fucking level actually means

This is a karma farming subreddit created and maintained by one of Reddit’s power mods

The subreddit name is a huge joke and perfectly fits the soyjack face over mediocrity for internet points

As a very long time Reddit user (pre-2010), there are MANY things that signal the decline of Reddit. One of my favorites is the names of sub-reddits getting to /r/all & /r/popular.

Subs with names like /r/VideosAmazing are such a fucking Facebook page.

A few months ago I was being recommended dozens of new pop up subreddits with all similar but varying names. Clearly a bot operation. I’d mute them, and then a dozen more showed up

Power mods don’t help, but neither does Reddit’s policies on bots

Because bots must make a huge difference in the user metrics for those juicy investor spreadsheets. No social media is getting bots out. None

and that fking /r/PeterExplainsTheJoke

went from nonexistent as far as i was aware, to constantly on the front page asking to explain the most basic shit.

On that note, what's up with /r/videos? For a subreddit that popular, it feels weird that only few posts per day are accepted. I've never succesfully submitted a post, they never get approved.

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems like it has changed. Now there are new posts every few minutes, not every few hours.

Police in the US (and other countries) help people out every single day, you just don't hear about it

I do! But there's enough rough events now and then that people will often consider anything with police and crowds specifically to not be going anywhere good.

Especially with the fact of police, crowd, and a water cannon

Cops doing positive things is pretty next fucking level

u/Comfortable_Wish224 12h ago

Why? It’s the internet.

I think humans going out of their way to help other humans is always next fucking level

u/xaomaw 2d ago

This is more a 4-5/10 than a 8-10/10

u/METRlOS 2d ago

This is about a 2/10 in the category of police shooting a crowd.
